Spock play this.

Ahhhh... memories of playing with dad.

Shields are too powerful. There is too much space on board to run away into. It's a bit "stalemate-ish" with no mechanism to propel the game forward. There are much better games with pieces of differing strengths and movements. One of them is called chess. I wanted to like it as I've heard good things... In the end, I just couldn't.

A chesslike game. Playing pieces move in an interesting way. Brings back childhood memories.

I don't have much interest in Leonard Nimoy or abstracts so this one is not for me.

An ok alternative to Chess variants, but I find it too slow-moving.
